What your students practice
In South Africa, nobody may work as a security officer for pay without registering with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA), under section 20 of the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001. Section 23 requires an applicant to be a fit and proper person, a South African citizen or permanent resident, at least 18 and mentally sound, to have met the prescribed training requirements, and to have no conviction for an offence listed in the Act's Schedule (within 10 years before applying in the Act as published; the Amendment Act 18 of 2014 drops that limit once in operation). Security officer training is done in grades at PSIRA-accredited training centres, and each course ends in an assessment the centre sets. No official question count or pass mark was found; 70% is Tigertest's target.
Tigertest's practice follows Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001, ss. 20 and 23 (Government Gazette 23051), checked November 2026; assessment format not confirmed. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask
Is the PSIRA Grades E-C class free?
Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.
Do my students need accounts?
No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.
What do I see as the teacher?
Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the PSIRA Grades E-C topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.
Can I use my own questions too?
Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
